Significantly Overworked and Ready to Rumble
Author: Soren Dreier
Katarina was planning on leaving.
That frostbitten morning in the Ukraine her heart went pounding as she parked her bike outside the Ukrainian power plant. Not from the ride downhill. She had the feeling that this day would somehow determine her future. She had applied for a six months leave of absence with no pay. She had saved and put aside what she could from her pay as an engineer, living on barely anything for quite some time.
Her mind was made up. If they didn’t give her the leave, she would simply quit her job.
For a significant period of time she had felt her soul calling her.
It wanted uncharted territories, it wanted more than: ‘please find a nice boy, get married, buy a house in suburbia and be happy that you have all this’.
She felt tricked, she felt trapped.
Having absolutely nobody to talk to she felt even more as the doomed loner, with the forecast of a lobotomized life, forever contradicting her freedom craving soul.
As she boarded the elevator that would shoot her up to the CEO floor she took the final decision:
‘I really don’t need anybody’s permission. If they can’t grant me that freedom, I will simply have to take it. I don’t care. I’m so done here’- she said to herself and a new strength gathered in her. Her mood shifted.
She decided: ‘So be it’.
